I would avoid a RX-8 unless you had about the purchase price siting in an account for repairs. Some people have no problems. Some people need to replace the engine. (More in the second group than the first)

I also expect that most mechanics don’t have the skills to work on them.

If you want a good fun to drive car that will be easy to fix - buy a Miata.
